THE GRAPHIC NOVEL
Posy Simmonds in conversation with Lizzy Stewart
At the Century Club - Soho W1

Thursday 2nd March 2023
Doors open at 6:30, talk begins at 7 pm

Posy Simmonds MBE is one of our most loved newspaper cartoonists and creator of many popular children's books and graphic novels. One of Britain’s first female cartoonists, Posy came to prominence when she created the Weber family in the Guardian in the late 1970s. She went on to write and illustrate further satires on the English middle classes, Gemma Bovery and Tamara Drew, both of which were adapted as feature films.

Join Posy in conversation with graphic novelist Lizzy Stewart where they will discuss Posy’s life as an artist, writer and observer of the world, revealing aspects about her childhood, friendships and artists that most inspired her work. At the end of the evening, Posy will be presented with The International Award for Excellence in Comic Art for 2022.

Lizzy’s debut ‘Alison’ has been described as an exquisitely crafted coming of age story charting the progress of a woman embroiled in the glamour of the 1970s London art scene.
